LOL, Cali ~ one violet macaron is not to be shared, but I'll try and provide a trayful.

Hi, Harriet ~ thanks so much for saying Hello!! I'm delighted you like this little one.

It is really lovely, dear V ~ always makes my heart glad.

I just stopped by for another little visit with my Eva Boo. Thank you again dear Shsh.

Let me run over and see what I can do for CO. I fear that IF there were macarons, they've been snuffed up by now but we'll just see.

Shsh,
It's fun to see all my blog amis here too. We're just all one big happy family, n'est pas?

I found your site via Virginia a while back. Love your French-themed paintings. This one of the carousel with little Eva is dear.

That would be cool if you two could get Katie to visit. Perhaps you can share a violet macaron? ;-)

Hi, Jilly! Thanks so much for dropping by ~ I'm so glad Virginia mentioned your blogoversary, which prompted me to visit you. I also love your puppy dogs blog ~ adorable!! And from Tassie to Cairns ~ talk about one lovely extreme to the other, LOL!

Petrea ~ sounds like a fine idea!!

It's a plan, MmeB! :)

2010-02-08T10:49:51.230+10:00

Shell, perhaps if you and I conspire, we might get Katie to come down here and visit with us.

I love carousels and this one is just lovely.

Wow--a collaboration between Shell and Jilly would be heavenly. Jilly's photos of her tiny French village are so romantic.

Oh my goodness, I love, love love your work. What a talented lady you are. thankyou so much for your visit to one of my blogs today and for the blog birthday wishes. Am so glad you did as here I am now on your beautiful blog.

Your work is just gorgeous - and scrolling down it seems you can paint just about anything. I so admire artists and you are a very good one.

I lived in beautiful Oz for six years, three in Tassie and three in Cairns.

Hi Kim!! Thanks so very much. Have a beautiful rest-of-the-weekend!

Virginia, Cafe did put out some nice trays of macarons that you'd enjoy, as well as demystifying some associated bunkum.

That's right, Virg! Where have you been lately...

2010-02-07T13:46:34.657+10:00

That's right, Virg! Where have you been lately?? I even put out the macarons for you!

How fun to see V's photo and your art inspired by it! Just beautiful, Shell!

2010-02-07T12:54:47.171+10:00

Hello, Peter ~ well, that would be a pleasure, indeed, and I'm charmed that you've dropped by ~ thank you!! And you've taken such gentlemanly care of these lovely ladies when they've been in Paris, you are clearly charming, too!

V ~ sorry to over-excite you ~ violet in colour, not necessarily in flavour!! The violet ones I've eaten from our local French pastry chef are actually lavender macarons, but there's something rare and exotic and irresistible-sounding about calling them violet, n'est-ce pas?

I think I'd go cross-eyed and draw my fingers to the bone if we had FF EVERY day, but perhaps I can increase the ratio of FFs/VVs and Friday Fleurish to 2:1:1. ;)

Pardon, Did someone mention violet macarons? Where...

2010-02-07T09:45:20.169+10:00

Pardon,
Did someone mention violet macarons? Where have I been? I had violette thé at Ladurée but no mention of the macrons. Enlighten moi dear Shsh!

And may we have Francophile Friday EVERY day s'il vous plait?? Merci.

What a charming drawing of a charming Eva, daughter and granddaughter of a charming mother and a charming grandmother! I have the pleasure of having met the three of them!

PCN ~ we'll catch you before you fall out of the carriage!

Cafe ~ you have a good nose for such things, puppy.

I'm sure Virg has thrilled many over the past years.

2010-02-06T12:41:58.732+10:00

What a little cutie! And I don't usually like to get dizzy but I'd jump on this carousel in a heartbeat. Wheeeeeee!

Happy weekend, Shell!

2010-02-06T11:17:46.306+10:00

Mise ~ spoken like a mother. :) Eva is a sweetie, as are your own rowdies.

Alexa ~ your girls sound like they'd still happily climb on board one of these. ;)

Katie ~ if you wanted warm, you could have come here! {Next time...} Happy and safe travels ~ looking forward to hearing your adventures when you return.

Vicki ~ thank you, and a beautiful weekend to you, too!

Thanks, Hiker ~ the distinctive beanie helps the resemblance somewhat. ;)

Petrea ~ you're right, she is!

Amy ~ they'd have to prise me off it, or at least wave some fairy floss at me as incentive.

Margaret ~ so the rollercoaster is out of the question? I remember your bridge story ~ no need to answer that.

Cali ~ we'll visit this one together one day. Do you think they'd allow us to eat violet macarons while on board?

Virginia and Melissa ~ you are most welcome! You're such a gorgeous lot, and it was a pleasure to draw this lovely moment in time. I hope Eva is tickled pink. Melissa, I'll be in touch via V...

2010-02-06T09:12:15.329+10:00

Eva is mon petit enfant.... thank you for creating this beautiful piece of art that shows her very first trip to Paris. May I purchase the original?

Merci beaucoup!

Melissa

2010-02-06T08:33:08.648+10:00

Thrilled, MOI?? Non, I am overjoyed and I am sure my Eva and her Mommy will be as well!! My dear, dear Shell, you've captured her so beautifully. I think tomorrow that I will post the original photo which you are right, I've never put on my blog. Merci mille fois chère amie!

The only kind of merry-go-round worth riding!

Love the fairy tale aspects of this illo, Shell.

2010-02-06T06:33:57.789+10:00

There was a time when the only amusement park ride I would go on was the carousel. I was that risk aversive.
